Chapter 799: Preparing to Advance to Tier 3(2)

“Good!”
Leader He vigorously patted He Yun’s shoulder and walked steadily towards the stage.
In the distance, the people from the other families erupted in excitement upon discovering that the He family had actually put their family treasure, terrifying gourd up as a bet.
“The He family is really gambling big!”
“Indeed, they even brought out the terrifying gourd. This shows they have absolute confidence in He Yun!”
“Not only that, I think the He family intends to dominate Moon City…” An elder’s eyes flickered with a sinister light as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Leader Wu snorted coldly but said nothing. However, his heart tightened, hoping Zhao Yu could win.
After all, the Wu family’s treasure was in Zhao Yu’s hands, and they could still negotiate since Zhao Yu had no family backing him.
But if it fell into the hands of the He family, getting it back would be extremely difficult. They might even have to start a war.
That would mean rivers of blood!
“Leader Qian, does your Qian family have any plans to send someone strong enough to battle Zhao Yu?!”
Leader Wu, trying to hide his inner fear, forcibly struck up a conversation with the other patriarchs.
Although Leader Qian was over forty years old, she still possessed an enduring charm. She wore silk and satin adorned with dragon and phoenix patterns, exuding the aura of a noblewoman and a queen.
The other three leader present, all male, did not dare to meet her gaze.
It wasn’t that they feared her, but they were afraid that looking into her seductive eyes for too long would entrap them.
For people of their status, women were secondary. What truly mattered was their family, and they naturally didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble.
Leader Qian laughed coquettishly, her body swaying like a delicate flower, causing many young men to stare in a daze.
“Our Qian family doesn’t have anyone who can compare to Wu Tian, so we won’t join the fun this time…”
“Hehe, your daughter is exceptionally talented. She might become someone extraordinary in the future!” Leader Wu was seizing the opportunity to compliment Qian Duo Duo.
This time, Qian Duo Duo was not mingling with Zhuge Ying and others. Instead, she sat obediently beside Leader Qian.
“Thank you for the compliment, Leader Wu, but my daughter does not dare to accept such praise…” Qian Duo Duo, understanding the etiquette, behaved obediently in front of these important figures, even dyeing her hair back to black.
Leader Qian smiled faintly and whispered, “Look at Zhao Yu, this young man is already drawing the attention of all five great families. Aren’t you interested?”
Qian Duo Duo pouted, not caring about Zhao Yu’s identity or his personality.
What she truly cared about was her mother’s attitude and her status as the cherished jewel of the Qian family.
“I don’t want to. I want to find a husband of my own!” Qian Duo Duo said defiantly.
“Alas, I’ve spoiled you too much!” Leader Qian sighed, understanding that her daughter’s hopes were slim.
This meant that once she stepped down, Qian Duo Duo could no longer act so spoiled.
However, Qian Duo Duo didn’t understand the reason behind her mother’s work. Instead, she affectionately hugged her mother’s arm and coquettishly said, “With you around, I’ll always be a little girl…”
Leader Qian gently tapped her on the forehead and shook her head, “Alright, let’s watch the match…”
But as she glanced at Qian Duo Duo, she suddenly noticed Qian Xin Yue, who had her head lowered nearby.
With her experience, she immediately saw the change in Qian Xin Yue’s demeanor. It seemed she had blossomed from a shy bud into a radiant flower.
Quickly, she recalled Qian Xin Yue’s return to Black Stone Town.
Could it be that she and Zhao Yu…?
Leader Qian hurriedly called Qian Xin Yue over, questioning her in detail.
Previously, Qian Xin Yue had acted on her own accord. Even when reporting to Qian Duo Duo, she did so under the pretense of standing up for her.
Therefore, upon her return, although she intended to tell the truth, she ended up partially hiding the reality of her relationship with Zhao Yu.
Now, being questioned, she panicked but, after glancing at Qian Duo Duo, stuck to her previous explanation.
Having been in power for many years, Leader Qian was highly astute and immediately saw through Qian Xin Yue’s lie.
Especially since she glanced at Qian Duo Duo before speaking.
She instantly guessed that Qian Duo Duo must have instructed her not to tell the truth.
Leader Qian shook her head, realizing she had indeed spoiled her daughter too much, allowing her to be so capricious on such serious matters.
However, she did not expose Qian Xin Yue and, after a few casual remarks, turned her attention to the arena.
In the arena, Zhao Yu and He Yun were already standing on opposite sides, facing each other.
“Zhao Yu, I watched your fight with Wu Tian. Your ability to recover your energy and blood is indeed strong…”
“But, you have a flaw…”
“And that is, your level is insufficient, only at the peak of the second tier, not at the level of a King Slayer…”
“I know you emphasized needing a week’s time to stall, and now, you should have reached the second tier of the King Slayer Rank 1, right?!”
He Yun spoke confidently.
During these seven days, the He family had been thoroughly analyzing Zhao Yu’s battles.
They reviewed his fights since arriving in Moon City repeatedly and even found people from Black Stone Town to study Zhao Yu’s experiences there.
After extensive simulations, He Yun’s probability of defeating Zhao Yu was estimated to be around 90%.
Without such high odds, the He family leader wouldn’t have dared to wager the talisman treasure.
After all, the terrifying gourd had only two uses left, and losing it would mean it was gone forever..
